King Books/Items Wanted

[east-tennessee]

I have a new rolled Gunslinger 2nd.........but it would take alot of $JACK$ to part with it..........

Brian.......:tongue:

[Randall Flagg]

A fine 2nd dj is harder to find than a fine 1st.

[Kingfan24]

I was also given a rolled jacket bay a member here

[stroppygoblin]

What price would you put on a fine 2nd? If an unfolded 1st goes for around $100?

[Fsmdr]

What price would you put on a fine 2nd? If an unfolded 1st goes for around $100?

$100?. I paid close to $200 for a pristine 1st DJ.

[stroppygoblin]

I understood RF had some for $100?

[mcdonaldj]

I understood RF had some for $100?

Emphasis on had. My personal opinion is that the S.K. market is getting tighter, prices are going up. For example, 1-2 yrs ago I had no problem finding a NF+ The Shining 1/1 for $200'ish. Now it is proving impossible.

[Randall Flagg]

Current market is ~150+ for a perfect 1st dj. A NF+ (I have several) is ~$100-$150 (plus tube and shipping). 2nds are hard to find. Perhaps $150-$200 for a fine dj.

[stroppygoblin]

Happy to pay $100-150 for a NF 2nd if anyone has one...

[Randall Flagg]

Happy to pay $100-150 for a NF 2nd if anyone has one...
And to think I turned my nose at a few that were nicely priced.
Oh well; that's how it goes.

[Randall Flagg]

Funny story (I think). Several years ago (~4) I sold a DTI 2nd DJ to someone who is a member here.
I tubed up and sent a a 1st dj by mistake (mine). The person contacted me and sent the 1st dj back and I sent the 2nd dj. I believe that was the last 2nd I ever sold.
Wierd how stuff works.

Ì'm going to be looking for some books to start to build a new collection. I only have 1 signed king book at the moment and would like to get a few more gift editions. I missed out on the FDNS gift edition on Betts. I've got some inquiries out on an IT gift edition and I have access to the DR Sleep and Shining gift editions. What are some must haves in a good King collection for someone on a budget?

Additional GE's: (all beautiful)
Desperation
From a Buick 8
The Talisman (original)
Talisman & Black House (Grant Set)
The Green Mile
The Dead Zone

You shouldn't have too much difficulty in tracking down copies of these and most of them are relatively low money (compared to S/L's)

Here (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?18220-2014-Haven-FundraiserAuction-24-Rachel-Readman-4-Remarques-in-Just-After-Sunset) is a current Haven Fund auction for a Just After Sunset Collectors Edition with FOUR remarques from Rachel Readman. This would be a great start to your collection!!

Be careful. It is a lot of fun but it is a VERY expensive hobby sometimes and if you aren't careful sometimes you will spend more than you really want to/are able to. I was at that point once and it's not a fun place to be.

[Aronstg]

Thanks Stroppy. It is a lovely remarque, it's just out of my current budget right now.

Thanks for the advice Kingfan. I've been collecting books for about a year now and I'm just getting into King collecting. It's a serious jump but I think I just need to be patient, look for good deals and be able to pass on things that just don't make fiscal sense at the time. Gift Editions will be a good start and I'll keep my eye out for any S/L releases coming up. I'd like to pick up a few signed 1st/1sts as well, particularly a different seasons 1st/1st. Thankfully I'm a patient person.

[Joe315]

Another tip is not just to jump at something to fill a hole in your collection. If you want a first edition of The Shining or The Stand, for example, save up for a copy you will be happy with. Don't pay $150 for a copy to fill that empty space on your shelf and then pay $400 for a better copy later on. Save up that $550 and buy a great copy.

[Aronstg]

Joe315. Noted! I actually have made this mistake in the past. I recently realized that I have about 7 duplicate copies of books right now! Haha

I agree with this to an extent, but I also wouldn't turn my nose up at a $60 copy of The Stand just because I also had a $400 copy of The Stand, I would keep both and happily have them on my shelf. Within reason, anyway. I wouldn't buy an ex library copy of The Stand with no DJ. But a well worn but more or less intact copy has a certain appeal to me. It shows the love (it's not carelessness, it's love, goddamnit). A personal preference thing though, for sure. Having said that I own neither a shitty nor a nice copy of the original Stand, and I think I only own two books that I'd ever bother upgrading, and neither is terrible, both are probably at least VG or VG+, and neither is terribly valuable anyway.

If the worst thing that happens to a new King collector is buying a few books that aren't in the greatest shape (at fair market value) that they later want to upgrade, they should count their lucky stars. I think over half the King auctions on eBay are either misrepresented, ridiculously priced, or outright fraudulent.

[Frankie]

And by no means are the questionable antics confined to eBay. IIRC there's an Insomnia GE on AbeBooks priced within 20 dollars of the cheapest S/L (though I believe that SL is a PC?). Regardless, it's a ridiculous price, bordering on obscene.

There are GE Desperations on Abe priced at ~160, despite the fact you can get them new from Grant for $75.

There's a DT3 through LSoE on Abe for $5,000.

You get my drift. :)

Don't disagree with anything you said. I think the message at the core of my point is to be careful and not rush a purchase just because it's there. You might be able to find a great copy on the cheap. You just have to be patient, do your research, and make sure your happy with everything before you buy.

I rushed a purchase a couple times and ended up upgrading the copy because ultimately I wasn't satisfied with the book. Now, with a bit more collecting experience under my belt, I am trying to get what I want on the first go 'round, even if it costs a bit more and takes a little longer to get.

Example being, I have two firsts of the stand. If I had the patience to do the research and not worry about someone else snapping up the copy, I would have a nicer copy of the book that I would be 100% satisfied with. Now there is nothing wrong with the copies I have and I do really enjoy them, but it is one of my favorite books and I want a great looking copy for my shelf.

LOL I have 4 copies! Why is this book done like this? I went after each one and they all gave my money back and did not want their BCE back. lol

[Frankie]

Dead Zone and Firestarter are definitely the two worst from my experience. Seems like everyone agrees that the old Viking books just don't hold up well. The Dead Zone is one of the few books in my collection that I wouldn't mind upgrading.

My two best stories (scams) from when I first started collection were when the guy sent me a BCE of IT instead of the 1st. He claimed it was an honest mistake and sent me the 1st for free (and let me keep the BCE, not really worth shipping back obviously), but since it takes all of 3 seconds to check the DJ for a price before you ship the book, I don't really buy it.

The other was I think the Dark Half. I had a 1st bought at release but before I was collecting, so it was a well read copy. Think I may have even lost the DJ. So I just wanted a nice copy for the shelf. The listing described the copy as being in "good condition" but then went on to use something like "a very nice copy in great shape" or something similar. If he'd just said good without any other adjectives I wouldn't have bought it, but since he also said "nice" and "great" I figured he was using the word good in the general sense. Got the book and it looked like it had been read by a coal miner on his lunch breaks. Never seen a book that filthy in my life. I think that may be the only negative eBay feedback I've ever left.

[stroppygoblin]

Although I agree there are many dubious sellers on ebay, most of the problems are down to sellers who simply have no clue about what they are selling. They look at a book (presumably previously belonging to their parents/ex boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife/brother/sister/etc) and read "first published in..." and think "cool a first edition! - i'll make a fortune".

It does my head in wading through auction after auction trying to separate the wheat from the chaff. I have lost count of the number of times I have sent a message with:

1. Is there a price on the dust cover?
2. What is the number line on the cover page state? Hint: it will look something like 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

99/100 I have had to explain further and then tell them - That's NOT a first edition.

[divemaster]

99/100 I have had to explain further and then tell them - That's NOT a first edition.

Yeah, and when you do that, they respond "You suck!" "You are an idiot!" "If you ever contact me again, I'll have eBay BAN YOU!!!"

[skyofcrack]

I'm so glad that most of my King collection was either purchased new in actual stores (discounted/remaindered) or, if through the mail only new copies. I can't imagine dealing with eBay'ers and tons of used King books. Ugh.

I think the idea is to save a little $$$.
If a member here has one (given as a gift, etc) that maybe due to expire and have nothing they need to use it on, they may wish to sell it at less than cover price.

They get some money instead of wasting it and the buyer saves some too.

Correct?

They don't expire in the state of California (where Patrick, Jerome, and I live).

I don't believe the same is true throughout the country, and the rest of the world.

Typical Californian arrogance to assume that as California goes, so goes the rest of the world. :P

Not that it would happen to CD, but if a business goes bankrupt, then all bets are off on GC's. An example I am aware of was Circuit City. My wife had ~$200 in GC's from them that became worthless. My point would be, spend them in a reasonable amount of time. It's good for you.

CD gift certificates don't expire. I have had other GCs expire. Phone cards too.

The coupon for the CD book club does expire one month after issue. If there is nothing I want to buy with the coupon that month I buy a gift certificate and use that when there is something more interesting.

[subie09lega]

I actually bid on that one but I didn't quite bid enough, unless the winner bid a lot more than the winning bid which would mean I didn't bid near enough. There are some on ABE but they start at $1K and go up from there which I think is outrageous for this. I may make them an offer and see if they'll accept it. The worst they can do is say no, or just ignore me.

Wow! Superb copy. Thank you, Michaël :D

[biomieg]

BTW, this might raise the 'Open Market' discussion again but I guess the consensus is that this edition is the first?

[The Library Policeman]

I'd say it is most definitely the first edition :)

[DanishFan]

Any help would be much appreciated here...I'm looking for info on the following: 1) King apparently wrote the official biography of Richard Bachman. It can be found on various websites, but I'm looking for info on when it was written and where it was first posted (or published if it was in some fanzine or something). On King's own MB nobody could help, not even the Moderator bothered to check into it, and people kept sending me the text of the Bachman Books intros, which was not what I asked for. 2) The US ARCs of The Green Mile, Bag of Bones and Hearts in Atlantis have letters from King to booksellers/reviewers. It seems like not all copies of them do, so they are likely scarce. Does anyone here have them and could perhaps do a scan or something? I do know some of the UK ARCs also has these letters, but I'm mostly interested in the US (first) ones. The Green Mile ARC letter is not the same as the Foreword: A Letter piece. 3) This is probably a bit of a stretch, but since this place is for the real collectors, I'll ask anyway: Way back in 2001, when readers submitted their writing samples on King's site (the On Writing Dick and Jane-exercises), a short note by King popped up, thanking the participants. The now defunct Needful Things website had the note on their site, but the first appearance (King's site) can't be found anywhere, not via Wayback. So does anyone here remembers it and perhaps (a stretch, I know) saved it as a pdf or printed it out? The same with a short comment by King on his own MB in September 2005, where the patrons wrote a birthday story for King. King praised it with a short note. That note appeared on Bev Vincent's MB, but the hardcore collector here wants to know if, again, someone might have saved it in one way or another from King's site? And finally (that's a promise): Philtrum Press had a full-page advertisement for the online The Plant publication, in USA Today and Publishers Weekly. The ad has a short note by King (displayed in one of the Phantasmagoria newsletters that I have). Does anyone have the USA Today/Publishers Weekly with the ad? Sorry for my ramblings, I've just become more and more "obsessive" trying to find everything King has published, even the "less important" pieces such as these.

S/L Joyland....

$150 for an S/L Joyland too high? I missing something?

[Robert Fulman]

The cheapest one on eBay is $495, which is "about $150 too high", meaning he thinks it's worth $350.

Most important to me right now are Thinner and Skeleton Crew.

I've never seen a UK full proof of Skeleton Crew. I have only seen the partial proof which includes the "Introduction," "Here There Be Tygers," "The Monkey," "The Jaunt," "The Raft," "Nona," "Survivor Type," and "Gramma."

Is that the one you are after or are you hunting a full contents proof?

[biomieg]

I should have specified that I am indeed looking for the partial proof. Like you, I have never heard of or seen a UK full proof of Skeleton Crew.

Agreed. I never chime in because I am not even close to being an expert, but sometimes they calls of fake on here seemed ok to me. That's why I'm pretty much sticking to S/L's or flat signed from reputable people like Dave at Betts.

The regular slipcased edition is going to follow the same standard and format we used for Christine and Pet Sematary. For the text paper, we’re working on using 120gsm Munken Lynx on both editions. And as soon as we’ve completed the various tests, the signing sheets will go to print next week and should be sent out to the various perps for completion week commencing 19 May (by which time production of the slipcased edition and the slipcases themselves should be well underway—probably early next week). As to when copies of the book will actually start going out, well, that depends on how fast Messrs. Chadbourne, Lovegrove and Newman complete their signing chores (the author’s signature in the slipcased edition is a facsimile).

The deluxe edition has a couple more component parts.

Artist Glenn Chadbourne is hard at it working his way through 26 one-off super-limited pieces of artwork (‘super limited’ as in “one of one”, sports fans!) that will be included in the traycase as a separate item. But in addition to this, there will be a separate 300 gsm artstock catalogue featuring prints of all 26 pieces. The gallery will be limp sewn bound and will be placed into the tray case with the other items.

The actual book will measure 254 x 175mm / 10" x 7" (trimmed page size) with colour leaves printed on 130gsm gloss/silk (tbc). Where plates fall, blank pages will be left for colour leaves to be tipped onto them. These colour leaves will be trimmed to fit within the page (e.g. 224 x 145mm) leaving a white border all round. The book will be section sewn and printed in 4 colour throughout. Nicky is ironing out final choices for head- and tail-bands, ribbon markers, and material options for boards and traycase. The 26 deluxe edition copies are going to be hand prepared by Blissets (www.blissetts.com) in tandem with TJ, our regular printers (and while we’re mentioning them, hearty congratulations to Neil on the birth of Athena just a few days ago. We’re expecting her to take her position on the production line like the rest of us!)

Of course, the signing sheet of each copy of the deluxe edition will be lettered (as in A—Z, kids!) and that letter will be carried forward onto the gallery catalogue, the special original artwork envelope, the book exterior and the actual traycase.

So far, so good.

So, when will it be ready? I reckon it should be June—Nicky and I are keen to have the book as a birthday present to the both of us (Nicky is 3 July and I’m 4th) but we’ll have to see. Oh, there’s one more thing: Stephen has agreed to sign the sheets for the lettered edition but those sheets are going to be included in the actual book design. So instead of receiving 26 single pages, Stephen, Glenn, James and Kim will receive the eight-page sections, giving us the benefit of not having to tip in the sheets later. We’ll be doing this on all future deluxe lettered editions and we’re already well into plans for Thinner, which will feature cover and interior artwork from Edward Miller and Les Edwards plus (in the deluxe traycased edition) remarques from Les.

I’d like for us to be in a position to put up the order page in the next 10-14 days and certainly before the end of the month at which time, with all tests completed and signatures underway, we’ll be able to confirm all publishing details. We’ll be announcing the date and time of the page being uploaded after which it’ll be every man and woman for themselves. The page will feature an automatic reverse counter and copies will be allocated on a strict first-come, first-served basis and limited to one per customer.

I tells you, we’re all of us super-excited about this!

I'm not sure if Cd did but Overlook did for sure. I think you can get them on ebay for $10.

Thanks....I have seen The Overlook slipcases...eh...they're ok....really like what I have in regards to the CD Wind Through The Keyhole, Doctor Sleep, and Full Dark No Stars slipcases.

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa411/ELazansky/Books/SKVarious.jpgI don't have the Shining (not in my collecting universe), but I have a mental list of "cool things carlosdetweiller has posted", and there is variant Carrie where the title is written horizontally on the spine, rather than vertically. You should try to find that one, too (I'm sure this is where Bob comes in and says, "There's only of those, and I have it.")

These were out of my "I only collect...." universe as well, but I already had Night Shift (from a purchase so long ago I cant remember where I got it) and I saw Carrie and 'salems Lot on ebay for a couple of $'s each. Impulse bought both and now want to complete the set. I have bought a couple of 1st edition variants recently and am trying NOT to look for more! :nope:

There is certainly more than one because I have two. I got the first one years ago directly from Peter Schneider. It was my understanding that they never made it to retail outlets and the jacket was redesigned so that the title was printed vertically on the spine so it could be read. But I found my second copy on eBay from a seller who had no inside publishing contacts and had no idea it was a variant. So I think that some of the early jackets did make it to retail outlets. I think there are some out there if you look.

Am I the only person that is being annoyed by the fact that, sometimes, different publishers write the title or King's name in a different direction?
It also happens with books of the same publisher. At least it's the case in France.
It looks odd on a shelve

The other two are also horizontally printed. I think they were all done at the same time so, initially, all four were horizontal. But Carrie, being thinner, didn't look right so it had to be redone.

I would guess maybe $15 to $20 apiece for really nice copies? I haven't followed any recent sales so it is just a guess.

Alan are you collecting BCE's now as well as PB's?
I think I have a very early BC of the original stand, but I'm travelling (again) won't be back till Thurs night.
If Bill hooks you up before then, that's great, but I'll check again when I get home.

[stroppygoblin]

I'm looking for a UK 1st of Christine if anyone has a spare?

I'd also be interested in ex-lib copies of the UK Carrie and UK 'salem's Lot (both 1st/1st) if they are reasonable money.

Simon, I'm not collecting BCE's it's just this one particular title I'm after. I may have one in the works, if not I'll certainly let you know.

Lol thanks Bill and I emailed you! :D

[stroppygoblin]

Alan, I checked my other copy of the Stand. It appears to be a 1st edition later printing rather than a BCE as I recalled. Book is nr Fine but cover is price clipped and has some wear, I'd say Good to VG at best. I appreciate this is not what you are looking for, but putting it out there if anyone else has any interest.

[BrighterDeathNow]

Come August I'll be in the market for a copy or two or the Artist/Gift Ed. of Little Sisters of Eluria. Just posting this now to get a feel for availability and price.

That case from the Collector is so nice, I purchased one and then saw how cool it was went out and purchased a flat signed copy to put inside it...

[WeDealInLead]

The typo in one of the faux articles ruins it for me.

[Randall Flagg]

The typo in one of the faux articles ruins it for me.
Which typo?

[WeDealInLead]

http://stephenkingcollector.com/pictures/slip/5-large.jpg

Bottom left news headline. I could be wrong, but "Would be" should be hyphenated or the headline rephrased.

[Dan]

Maybe I'm not in on the joke, but done you mean the "surives" in the headline?

[dnemec]

Maybe I'm not in on the joke, but done you mean the "surives" in the headline?

I was thinking "Assasins"--always remember, there are 2 asses! But I still like the look of case. Of course, haven't picked one up yet...

[ELazansky]

Maybe I'm not in on the joke, but done you mean the "surives" in the headline?

There's no joke. I see what he is referring to. You don't say "Would be shooter" - it should say "Would-be shooter"

[divemaster]

The joke is the complaint over a missing hyphen deep in the corner of the page when there is a huge misspelling in large font right at the top front and center.

And a missing apostrophe in the headline as well.

[Br!an]

JFK Surives Assasins Bullet > JFK Survives Assassin's Bullet

Would-be would be correct.

[jhanic]

I may be naive, but I assumed that newspaper was a "Special Edition". If that were true, typos would be expected because of the rush to get the edition out.

[SirFolio16]

It's good to finally be back.

I ended up ordering the signed 1st/1st of 11/22/63 from Betts. And ordering the collector case from StephenKingcollector.com.

The typo's bothered me until I read "I may be naive, but I assumed that newspaper was a "Special Edition". If that were true, typos would be expected because of the rush to get the edition out."...

While that may not be the actual reason for the typo's it makes enough sense for me to overlook them... the case really is gorgeous.

[George at C-Springs]

Heard back from Mindy just a few minutes ago, and unfortunately my #186 request for Doctor Sleep was lost in the upgrade to a remarqued copy.

So, if anybody comes up with #186, I'm your man and have a doube-remarqued #110 to trade with.

I can't willfully suspend my disbelief quite that much. Massive typos in the massive headlines of the most massive news story in decades? Even the drunkest newspaperman on the planet would have at least caught the ones in the headlines. Shame, because it's a great case and a good idea.

I don't see any typo there.


(I always have to grin at a complaint about typos that contains typos!)

There's a pretty big difference between posting something on an internet forum from a cell phone and publishing something.

[Bev Vincent]

The whole title is a typo! Dewey lost the election.

[zelig]

It's probably a long shot but if anyone has #102 of PS Publishing's Christine and interested in selling, let me know. Thanks.

[atomgl]

I have a complete copy of King hosting as guest vj on mtv from 1986 with all videos intact and the interview he does with ac/dc. Any interest in trades? looking for copies of interviews from newspapers and tv show interviews (stuff not on youtube) thanks

[atomgl]

this came out to coincide with the release of on writing but was different tips. anybody have a copy?

[biomieg]

Atomgl, welcome to the forum. Looks like you've come to the right place! It's probably easiest to post questions like these in the 'King Items Wanted' thread or perhaps the Collectible Classifieds thread (I'll let the moderators decide that). Just to keep things organized a little! Same goes for the thread you started in the King Collectibles Catalog - that part of the forum is really a Catalog with descriptions of items and such, not so much a place to debate the existence of unpublished works.

But again: welcome. I look forward to discuss collectible King with you :)

[atomgl]

thank you - love it here! how do you get the king items wanted thread? haven't been able to find it.

[Bev Vincent]

I have this -- it's a broadsheet advertising supplement called Book Street. My copy is a little yellowed and folded into quarters, and I only kept the connected section of pages that has King's article on it -- pages 3 through 6.

[atomgl]

Are you looking to sell it or sell/trade a copy? By the way I am reading your road to the dark tower right now. I ended up leaving my copy in a public place as I got mesmerized but 2 attractive females and ended up having to order another copy. Priceless book!

[skyofcrack]

thank you - love it here! how do you get the king items wanted thread? haven't been able to find it.

Go to the top of the page and click Forum then scroll down and click Calvin's Corner (under Stephen King Collecting). Then scroll down to find the King Books/Items Wanted thread which is usually on the 1st page. Welcome. :)

[atomgl]

thank you my friend

[Bev Vincent]

By the way I am reading your road to the dark tower right now. I ended up leaving my copy in a public place as I got mesmerized but 2 attractive females and ended up having to order another copy. Priceless book!

So, my fiendish marketing plan is working -- I'll have to give the two lasses a raise. :biggrin:

[Randall Flagg]

atomgl, we have a thread to look for King items:
King Books/Items Wanted (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?966-King-Books-Items-Wanted)



I'll be merging this thread there.

[biomieg]

Is any of my UK friends willing to get me a nice copy of the UK 1st/1st trade edition of Mr. Mercedes? I would normally get a copy here in Amsterdam or The Hague but all my spare time seems to have vanished in thin air since my boy Julian was born.... I'll pay for all expenses of course!

[jonp]

I will be able to get one for you Michael. Was it the normal version or the WHSmiths?

[biomieg]

The regular version will be fine, Jon. I quit being a (wannabe) completist some time ago ;) Thank you for helping me out!

[jonp]

I will get one tomorrow.

[SystemCrashOverRide]

Could I persuade you to get me one of each Jon? Are they both readily available at cover price? I would happily pay you.

[jonp]

Yes, I will try and get both for you. The WHSmith edition was selling fast a few weeks ago, but I will check. Shipping to Canada may be pricey!

[SystemCrashOverRide]

Please let me know sir! Cheers

Looking for The Stand Art Portfolio

[biomieg]

Also still looking for the following UK proofs:

I also need a better US 1st/1st trade edition of EOTD - I own a very nice copy but the red lettering on the spine has faded somewhat.

[biomieg]

(not that I expect to find any of those proofs anytime soon... *sigh*)

[Randall Flagg]

Looking for The Stand Art Portfolio
Which one?
The blue cover has 12 plates, the black cover has 12+ a 13th plate with a Wrightson signature.

[SirFolio16]

I would like either... price permitting I would prefer the nicer one.

If you/anyone are looking for either of these, drop me a note.
